The Drink and Click™ Show, EP2

Drink and Click™ founder Juan Gonzalez and I had a great time on the show last night! We were joined by Sara Collaton, Jordan Oram, Joel Horwath, Holger feroudj, Ana Andres. We talked about what we do at Drink and Click™, shared photowalking experiences and recommended the best places to shoot in certain cities. We also discussed the idea of “Leading Lines” in photography and how to best utilize them to create visually interesting images. There may have been a few off-color jokes and a few crotch shots. What?
Panelists shared some great photographers to circle that they have met via DNC photowalks, including Jason Cook, Jason Ruth, Ryan MacLean, Giovanni Piliarvu, and Nicolai McCrary. If you don’t have them circled, go for it.

We ended by announcing the winners of May’s Leading Lines Challenge - Kenny Shepard (Drink and Click™ Philadelphia), Visharad Deo (Drink and Click NYC), and Motonori Ando (Drink and Click™ Tokyo) (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Thanks so much to our prize sponsors: Think Tank Photo, Gary Fong Flash Diffusers, and Trey Ratcliff‘s Stuck In Customs.

Remember to watch us every month on the second Wednesday at 9:30PM CST. Our next show is July 10th. We think you’ll enjoy yourselves, and you never know who (or what) you might see on the show!

Don’t forget to join in on your city’s monthly Drink & Click Photowalk Event – you get to take photos, socialize with people who share your interest, and have a chance to win great prizes. Check the website for a chapter in your area!

School’s Out, Mommy! SCHOOL IS OUT!

Today was Braden’s last day of school – he is officially heading to first grade. Last week he told me that he was so excited about Friday, because there would be no more school! Today, however, when it was time to leave school, he was very sad and started crying. “I am going to miss seeing my teachers and friends,” he told me.

I reminded him that he’ll get to go back next season and asked him what his plans for summer are. His reply? “Two things, Mommy: 1 – Go to the pool. 2 – Relax.”

I like the sound of that.  Happy Summer Vacay, Friends!

Take What You Take

A picture paints a thousand words
As one door closes another door opens
And two wrongs don’t make a right
Now good things come to those who wait
Take the highs with the lows dear
You’ll get what you’re given and everything’s gonna be alright.

What the fuck do you know?
Just cause you’re old you think you’re wise
But who the hell are you though?
I didn’t even ask for your advice
You wanna keep your mouth shut
You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere
Cause you’re doing in my nut
And do you think I care?

Say what you say
Do what you do
Feel what you feel
As long as it’s real.
I said take what you take
And give what you give
Just be what you want
Just as long as it’s real.

Sing Me Sweet Lemondrop Lullabies, Baby

The goldenrod is yellow; The corn is turning brown; The trees in apple orchards with fruit are bending down.
~Helen Hunt Jackson

Little Boy

we run
we play

embrace the day

make laughs
give hugs

hunt monsters, bugs

play tag
throw balls

build forts, high walls

draw maps
find treasures

cherish simple pleasures

get wet
feel joy

i so love this little boy

The Drink and Click™ Show, EP1

Drink and Click™ founder Juan Gonzalez and I were joined by talented photographers and chapter leaders Michael Bonocore, Kate Siobhan Havercroft, Christi Nielsen, Jackie Burroughs Anderson, and Devon Bell. We talked about what we do at Drink and Click™ and how it started. There are some great stories and photo shares from the chapters they lead, discussion of architecture photography, a generous assortment of “that’s what she said” jokes, and fun and merriment all around.

We ended by announcing the winners of April’s Architecture Challenge - Joel Horwath, Kenny Shepard, and Jeff Matsuya (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Congratulations, guys! Great work. Thanks so much to our prize sponsors: SmugMug, XUME Adapters http://www.xumeadapters.com, and  Trey Ratcliff‘s Stuck In Customs.

There’s a rumor that Juan drank 7 beers before we even got through the technical difficulties at the beginning of our attempt to broadcast. See what you think…
